Question 1

how long is the recovery time for bow leg correction?

Accepted Answer

3-4 month: I assume you talking about surgical correction.
If you are talking about non surgical correction some times  it takes years with bracing.

Question 2

will tendonitis affect the recovery time from a calf augmentation? should i be concerned about my tendonitis getting worse after a calf augmentation which i'm having to help with the appearance of my bow legs?

Accepted Answer

I : I may be missing something here but I have no idea what you mean by calf augmentation.

Question 3

how hard do you think it is to get bow legs correction?

Accepted Answer

Easy via osteotomy : Bowed legs or varus knees can be routinely corrected via what is called a high tibial osteotomy (hto). Though not done solely for cosmetic reasons, but for unweighting an arthritic/injured medial (inside) compartment of the knee joint, the overall result is a straighter less painful knee.

Question 4

i was wondering if you perform correction surgery for bow legs?

Question 5

how much does the procedure for correction of bow legs cost roughly? (lower part of the  legs)

Accepted Answer

Which country ?: In the us, bilateral high tibial osteotomies will cost $20k per leg before insurance.  If the femoral osteotomies are also needed, add an additional $12-15k per leg before insurance.

Question 6

can you tell me about bow-legged (bow leg) correction surgery?

Accepted Answer

Bow legs: Surgery is now very uncommon for these conditions as are braces and other devices used years ago.  Leg bowing can come from the tibia (tibial torsion) or from the femur (femoral anteversion).  Most of the time these correct themselves with time.   Sitting in a "W" position will make it last longer.   If tripping and falling are frequent events see an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation.

Question 7

how long after bow legs correction surgery, patients can remove those black things?

Accepted Answer

Ilizarov: I assume you are asking about an ilizarov external fixator. The answer depends on the amount of correction needed. The duration is usually at least 4 months, up to a year.

Question 8

can bow legs get worse with time?

Accepted Answer

Deformity: Bow legging can be a sign for early vit d deficiency as well as other associated bony defects.  But if it chronically persists and left untreated it can be devastating.

Question 9

i am 16 years old and recently noticed that i have bow legs. i did not have it when i was until about 14. my dad too is bowlegged and maybe i have inherited it from him. can it be cured with some exercises and will it worsen with time?

Accepted Answer

See Orthopedic Dr.: Blount’s disease is an inherited disorder of the growth plates in the bones around the knee. (inside surface stops growing while outside surface grows normally). In teens, the disorder may affect only one side. Treatment can involve bracing or surgery, and is managed by an orthopedic surgeon. Exercises will not substantially change the curvature and it will worsen until the bones stop growing (19y
